🚁 Innovation in Action: Bringing ‘Sanjeevani’ to Satpuda via Drone! 💊


Source: Maharashtra Times (Mumbai edition) dated 25th July 2025

Hats off to the incredible teams from the District Health Department, IIT Mumbai, and local health workers who have pioneered a groundbreaking solution to a long-standing challenge in the remote Satpuda region.

With no roads and difficult terrain, delivering essential medicines and vaccines to over 125 sub-centers in Akkalkuwa and Dhadgaon talukas was a daunting task. Thanks to the successful drone trial—where medicines reached a remote health sub-center in just 15 minutes—we are witnessing a new era of healthcare accessibility.

This initiative was conducted in collaboration with the District Health Department under the guidance of Dr. Ravindra Sonawane, District Health Officer, and Professor Dhawanil Shukla along with his research team from IIT Mumbai. The trial marks a significant step forward in overcoming logistical barriers to healthcare in difficult-to-reach areas.

Congratulations to all who are keen on leveraging technology for social good! 🌟
